ADULT FORUM: IS HEAVEN FOR REAL?

This small group bible study facilitated by Pastor Mike last fall is now available during Adult Forum between services.  It will examine one of the key foundational ideas of Christianity, that there is an after life. Resources for this study will include:

• The recent bestseller “Heaven is for Real”The studies of noted researcher Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross on Near Death Experiences
• The recent PrimeTime ABC special “The Other SideThis special report, by reporter Bob Woodruff, explores his own near death experience from surviving an explosion in Iraq as well as several others’ near death experiences.
• And of course the final word will come from the witness of God’s Word in scripture

Participants will have a chance to explore and dialogue about the age old question “Is heaven for real?” This group meets Sunday mornings between worship services in the library.

Sunday School is offered at Faith September-May between services at 9:15 a.m.  Our Rotation Sunday School is for children Pre-school through 6th Grade. They rotate through centers of drama, movie, computers, games and art.  In a rotational setting, the same Bible story or theme is taught for several weeks. Classes are led by teams of teachers who share the planning of lessons and activities for all age groups.

GALATIANS BIBLE STUDY

Paul’s letter to the Galatians is one of the most influential books of the New Testament. Martin Luther credits it with leading him to his understanding of a good and gracious God.  While its an easy read, consisting of just six chapters, its also a marvelous meal for those that want to dig into the grace of God. 

Fred Hessler will be facilitating this group that meets on Thursday nights. Any one wishing to participate should contact Fred Hessler for details of time and place.
 

MEN"S BREAKFAST AND BIBLE STUDY

“Christianity and the Competition with Dr. Paul Maier”

     The world horizon is littered with competing religions and philosophies.  Which has it right?  The bold claims of Christianity or other religious rivals... We'll look at sacred sources and secular sources.  Many Christians assume that other world religious systems have similar supporting evidence...Lets take a look. This study utilizes the presentations of Dr. Paul Maier (retired Professor of Ancient History at Western Michigan and former Vice President of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) in comparing and contrasting Christianity with other world religions.  Pastor Mike will be facilitating this once a month men’s Bible study which meets the first Saturday of each month.  In September we looked at Hinduism and in February we will be looking at Judaism.
     The coffee is strong, the cooks are good, the breakfasts are great, the company is Christian, and the conversations are spiritually stimulating …need anymore reasons to haul yourself out of bed early on a Saturday morning?!
